Specifically <br>. I have this data stored in my database Category#1<br>Category#2<br>Category#3
When I display them after a successful ajax request, I get exactly what was stored in the database. When I try to edit via console, it then will recognize the <br>.
How I got the data:
var category = response.items[index].category;
How I display it:
var cat = $('<td />', { text: category }).appendTo(tr);
Use html instead of text
ar cat = $('<td />', { html: category }).appendTo(tr);
Because, if you use text it will treat the string as text, which causes the problem.
If you use html, it will treat the string as html
change this in your code:
html: category
.text() processes the html string as a text so it does not parse it as html if you have html tags in it.
.html() method which parses the html string as a html.
